WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

Done deal. They ran the clock to 120 minutes plus 3 minutes of additional stoppage time. The last Cabo goal was awesome.

Amazing fight.
I've seen small teams put pressure on a big one when they try to get a goal back, but that's a very dangerous situation as all your players are gathering in the enemy's field and it's really easy for the others to counterattack and catch you with your pants down.

These guys applied sustained pressure to the last minute and really made the Argentinians sweat. This is extremely rare. And it might actually impact Argentina's game against Egypt on Monday. It's not always easy to recover in three days.

For excitement tune into the Argentina vs Cabo Verde game, but only if you can point out Cabo Verde on a world map. 117 minutes into the game. 3-2 for Argentina.

Isn’t it off the coast of NW Africa? Former Portuguese colony I believe?

Yep, they are two hundred miles offshore from Dakar, Senegal.
But who cares, for every four people they have there they have an extra one in Massachusetts or Rhode Island

This WC just keeps getting better! I was almost as amped up as I am for an Auburn game! Was really pulling for CV. Wild that Alabama has 10x the population of CV

Had to boot out our dinner guests. I totally missed the end. Oh well will speed then watch catch up Col v GHA

Columbia beat Ghana 1-0. Hard fought battle and some real head bonking headaches.

Been watching every game that is on Fox (boo that some are on FS1). So many great games, the Argentina game today was one of the best I have ever seen.
For anyone that loves soccer, please go to some college games in your city, most D1 programs are really good.

Also, Croatia beat Portugal. I know Portugal advanced...but Croatia owned that game. Zero chance Portugal beats Spain if they get to that point.

Dang, I want to hear more opinions from folks that don't know the difference between offside (soccer) and offsides (American football). FYI, there is no offsides in soccer.

I thought that match between Argentina and Cabo Verde was incredible.
